Design – At the Stockholm Furniture Fair, Jordens Arkitekter – Swedish for ‘architects of the Earth’ – used hemp building blocks to create Farming Architects, a 300 sqm exhibition exploring innovative architectural concepts while fostering a dynamic space for hands-on learning, interaction and collaboration.

“Farming Architects is about sharing ideas,” explains Johnny Andersson, co-founder of Jordens Akitekter. Indeed, “instead of showcasing finished works, we’re focusing on the creative process by showing sketches, models and sources of inspiration. It’s about revealing the layers and thought processes that shape architectural innovation, not just the result.”

Made from hemp building blocks, the exhibition also “aims to reignite the connection between the spaces we inhabit and the food we consume.”

The pavilion features five forward-facing projects of varying scales, including an expansive property development of 400-500 units, reimagining rural living beyond the conventional garden city model. The firm also presents a novel concept for senior living in rural areas, where residents engage directly with farming communities.

Highlighting urban agriculture is the Rosendals Trädgård project, a garden at the very heart of Stockholm. The smallest yet significant inclusion is Jordens Hus, a series of timber houses fully designed and built by the firm itself, exemplifying their comprehensive role in the architectural process.

The exhibition’s interactive environment invites visitors to participate and contribute, making their input a part of the collective creative process. Designed as a place for exploration and learning, Farming Architects also features a material library of sustainable building materials from 30 top suppliers in the field.

Showcased are also learnings from Osprey Farm Studio, a sustainable farm just west of Stockholm, created by Andersson and his wife, Ina M Andersson. Osprey Farm Studio operates as a testbed for innovative ideas and covers ten hectares with key biotopes: water, grassland, forest and the farming area.
